Sarah Kay Weekly Challenge - Purple + Green

When I first saw this weeks Sarah Kay Weekly Challenge - Purple + Green, I really wasn't sure if I was able to participate as the only papers I have that have both purple and green in them I had already used on my Sketch Saturday card and really didn't want to use them again.

So after much thinking I finally chose one of my favourite papers from Basic Grey and added a little purple along the way, and some lace - of course, lol




Have a great day everyone, TFL x

Friday Sketchers + ASFOS

Hi everyone hope your having a lovely day. Its good to see the rain has finally stopped after waking up to a massive thunder storm this morning - so what better way to spend the day than dabbling in a little crafting.

I finally got to a make a card for A Spoonful Of Sugar - 3 Ribbons and this weeks Friday Sketchers.

I'm not one to colour an image before I pick the papers, but I was experimenting at the time with me new Pro Markers and as she has been sitting around for the past couple of days I finally decided to use her - but then I hit a wall.... what papers to use !!! I'll never do that again... Im sure we've all said that, lol. Anyway after much delibration I finally came up with this:



I wish my photography skills were better, as when I use red it never comes out on the pic as it looks in real life - the red is a much deeper red, and not so bright.



Not my usual colour scheme, but I had fun with it anyway and was happy with the end result.

Have a great day everyone, TFL x

Saturday Sketch

Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying the BH weekend - its so nice to have an extra day off work.

This week at Saturday Sketch #13 Jo is looking for DT members and has asked for those interested to make two projects with this fabulous sketch - 1 has to be a xmas theme and the other any theme.



For my 1st card I thought I used one of my new Whiff Of Joy stamps - Angel Charlotte and coloured her with my new Pro Markers, which I love - but think I need more practice, especially with the shading !!! The papers are from Daisy Bucket Designs, which I adore and will definately be popping back to my Craft shop to stock up for xmas.



And here's a close up - sorry the pics are a bit dark, no sunshine here today !!!



The second card is open for any occassion, I replaced the sentiments with flowers - hope this is ok Jo. The cute image is Sarah Kay and she is one of my fabourites. I've used my Pro Markers again and couldn't resist a little lace on this card too.



Have a great day everyone, TFL x
